I have a roof garden downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada--with 14 containers (each 2'x2.5'). It gets full sun from sun up to sun down. It is also enclosed with chicken-wire. In the past I have grown tomatoes with success, however I am wondering if there is some crop that this environment is optimally suited to. In addition, if it is not too practically oriented, I would ideally like to find some crop that I could sell or use. I currently purchase Tribulus capsules from the health-food store and these are expensive. Could I grow that? What about sweetgrass--I could use that. What about green-tea? I suspect this would not work, but I thought I would ask. Similarly, what about ginseng?Tribulus is an annual vine and it likes moist soil that should not be too hard to supply. The problem with roof-top gardens is the wind, but since you grew tomatoes successfully you must have solved the problem or are lucky to have a sheltered roof.
